EU laws prevented deportation of Barcelona jihad mastermind

Jihad Watch reported last week that the imam who masterminded the Barcelona jihad massacre had been given human rights asylum by a judge who believed that “his forced removal would be a breach of his international rights.” Now the Express has revealed that it was EU laws that prevented the imam’s deportation:

Putting the blame on EU laws is a hollow attempt to exonerate Judge Pablo de la Rubia. What prevented Spain from deporting the imam was Judge de la Rubia’s interpretation of the EU laws. De la Rubia “pointed to two EU directives” that he stated gave Es Satty “the right to stay in the country because he did not pose a serious threat”:

The judge ruled Es Satty was not a threat – because he had only been convicted of one offence and because he was making attempts to “integrate” into Spanish society.

Unfortunately, the judge’s calculation about the threat Es Satty posed proved to be wrong. Es Satty was released to move freely around Spain upon finishing his sentence for drug smuggling; this was troubling, given a report last year that “Spain’s anti-terrorism department and the unit that fights organized crime” had actually merged, since it was finally recognized that “jihadist activity is frequently financed by crime, as was the case with the 2004 train bombings in Madrid, which killed 191 people.”

Given the imam Es Satty’s activities, one wonders why Judge Pablo de la Rubia would deem him to “not pose a serious threat,” particularly when Spanish authorities sought to deport him. Even worse, Es Satty was not even adequately monitored by authorities after this.

Apparently, this dangerous jihadist imam fell through the cracks, even though the Spanish government saw fit to throw him out of the country. He “went on to brainwash members of the cell who carried out two terror attacks in Barcelona and nearby Cambrils.” Now that another victim of the Barcelona jihad attack has died, the number of people murdered by the cell is now 16; 100 others were injured.

Westerners continue to lose control over the defense against jihad, and death tallies keep rising.

The Spanish government tried to throw Abdelbaki Es Satty, 42, out of the country in 2014 after he served a sentence for drug smuggling.

But a judge said two EU directives gave Es Satty the right to stay in the country – because he did not pose a “serious threat”.

After the failed attempt to deport him, Es Satty went on to brainwash members of the cell who carried out two terror attacks in Barcelona and nearby Cambrils earlier this month.

Today a 51-year-old German woman who had been in a critical condition in intensive care since being mowed down on Las Ramblas died in hospital. Her death brought the number murdered by the cell to 16. More than 100 more were injured when a van ploughed into pedestrians on the famous boulevard on August 17.

The judge highlighted two EU Council Directives – numbers 2003/109/EC and 2001/40/EC – which prevented the Madrid government from booting him out.

The EU directives say member states can only deport non-EU nationals who pose a “serious and present threat to public order or national security and safety”.

The judge ruled Es Satty was not a threat – because he had only been convicted of one offence and because he was making attempts to “integrate” into Spanish society.

Es Satty was arrested in January 2010 on a ferry to Spain from north Africa, with 121 kilos of cannabis resin worth POUNDS 162,000 packed into a van.

He was jailed for four years and a month and served two thirds of his sentence in a prison in Castellon, north east Spain. It is believed he became radicalised while behind bars.

When he was released in 2014 the Spanish government issued a deportation order, expelling him from the country for five years.

Spanish law permits the government to deport foreign criminals who have been jailed for a year or more once they have served their sentence.

Senior government official David Barelles wrote on the order that Es Satty posed “a real threat which is sufficiently serious to justify his expulsion”.

But Es Satty appealed – insisting he had a right to stay in Spain despite his conviction.

His won his case at the Contentious-Administrative Court Number 2 in Castellon in April 2015.

Citing the two EU directives, judge De la Rubia wrote: “Although the conduct of the accused is serious, there is only one offence, which is old, and it is claimed he has laid down employment roots in Spain, which demonstrate his efforts at integration into Spanish society.”

The judge added that it would be “disproportionate” to deport the Moroccan.

After leaving prison, Es Satty became the Iman of the mosque in Ripoll, a small town in the foothills of the Pyrenees, 65 miles north of Barcelona.

He radicalised local youths, mostly Moroccan immigrants aged 17 to 34, and is thought to have been the leader of the 12-man cell who brought mayhem to the region last month.

The gang plotted a terrorist ‘spectacular’ using vans packed with bombs made from butane-gas bottles and the explosive TATP – nicknamed the Mother of Satan.

They planned to blow up targets including the famous Sagrada Familia basilica…..

We have an Islamist lover in Canada too. 18 Muslims hell bent on bombing Toronto downtown, bombing Ottawa and planned to behead the Prime Minister. Jihadi Trudeau after they are convicted states a Canadian is a Canadian and they cant be deported. If these Sharia loving Islamists took the oath when becoming citizens and this is how they behaved then they lied and their Citizenship is invalid. How did this fool Trudeau come to this conclusion and make our Citizenship ceremony an invalid mockery, does he have future terrorists acts planned for these individuals as he just rewarded another of his Jihadist friends 10.5 million dollars. This terrorist when he was young and in Afghanistan was filmed in an IED bomb making facility. Did any of his products kill any of our soldiers killed by IED,s. The laws must be changed when these incompetent, vote seeking politicians are removed.

NOT ONLY THERE ! THE RULE OF LAW CAN NOW BE CONSIDERED DEAD WITH THE REFUSAL BY THE STATE & POLICE TO PROTECT WHITE CHILDREN FROM MUSLIM RAPE GROUPS FOR A TWO DECADE PERIOD !
SO POLICE & THE LAWS CAN BE REALISTICALLY IGNORED AS THEY HAVE BEEN BY MUSLIMS IN THE UK !
NOW THE REFUSAL AGAIN TO DEPORT BOTH IN CANADA & NOW IN SPAIN PUTS THE LAWS IN SUCH DISREPUTE THAT NOW ALL CAN IGNORE THEM & POLICE & THE LEGAL SYSTEM CAN JUST BE TAKEN AS USELESS !
THIS IS A PART OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD CHAOS STRATEGY PRIOR TO OFFERING SHARIA AS A SOLUTION TO ALL THINGS !!

Suicidal tendency revealed by islam. The f…… monster is winning these years. It gonna be ugly.westeners unite against the monster.stop all fimesse. Can reinsate it later. 4 now a complete ban if islam is paramount.

Notice the report wasn’t so clear whether the EU directives cited by the judge were simply “directives” or “laws”.

In either case, the position of the EU is becoming more obviously a federal government, rather than coordinating body. This means an administrative directive, taken without even a parliamentary vote, takes precedence over the legislated laws of the constituent countries. It roughly corresponds to the US federal government exercising without the ever-shrinking restraint of the 10th amendment leaving powers not specifically enumerated to the federal government to the states.

In other words, the EU aspires to be a tyranny, and the leftist judiciary is in full compliance.

The question is apropos to the US also: how to deal with a judiciary which simply makes its own laws to correspond with its own politics, and in the process leaves the country in extreme danger? I think there is a large danger that if some major terror act, on the scale of 9/11, is linked to an ill-considered judicial intervention, we might transition to a form of government more like a dictatorship, where a very powerful administration, with a compliant Congress, completely ignores the checks and balances of the judiciary.

The EU situation is frozen in place because “the people” still look to Brussels to guide their every move.
Too many forget or never knew what it was to live in a sovereign nation which values its citizens.
EU people should not await the arrival of their benefactor. There will be no “cavalry riding to the rescue.” EU people will need to ride to their own rescue, if they cannot display a trace of the will it takes to live as free citizens, they will suffer the sentences of dictatorships. They should not look to Brussels for Brussels is weak and directionless. They must gather strength to make the break from a corrupt EU and revive duty, honor, and country.

That malicious and murderous vehicle jihad terror attack in Barcelona, Spain which resulted in the tragic jihad murder of thirteen people and the wounding of over one hundred more people was most heinous and wicked. That jihadist Muslim who deliberately ran down and over all those people is a jihad –minded Muslim who was acting out according to the instructions contained in the “holy book” of Islam the Quran. For example, the Quran in Surah 9:123 instructs “O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you and let them find harshness in you…”
Let’s face it; intentionally running over people in a van is a very effective of showing people who are not Muslims “harshness.” Nevertheless, there are still some who, in spite of all the facts, claim that “Islam is a peaceful religion.” This claim has been proven to be blatantly false by the violet and deadly teaching of the Quran as well as by the behavior of many jihadist/Muslims who are inspired to inflect vicious murderous violence on people who are not Muslims.
In short, Islam is a religion of cruel, deadly violence.

The jihadist’s attacks in Western nations be the Muslim terrorists as seen in that such vicious malicious and murderous jihad attacks occur in the cities of the West. Such cities as Barcelona, Stockholm, London, Manchester, Brussels, Stockholm, Paris, Nice, Berlin, Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military. For to even try to reason with a jihad-minded Muslim terrorist is just as much an act of futility as trying to teach algebra to a rabbit.
